I hope this trend of integrated storage catches on. It’s ridiculous that we are riding bikes the price of a decent used car, and the only way to store even a single spare tube is to velcro on a bag. Every bike should have a storage box.

Really appreciate the explicit mention of your Orbea relationship. Thanks. 👏👏👏

I love these videos. "X watts saving at 40kph? That's amazing, " as I sit here stuffing down the last Celebration chocs from the tin after lunch, vegging on the sofa. Very nice bike though. I can only dream of affording a decent road bike.

"I wouldn't have got dropped. That probably isn't true, but a boy can dream..."
no jokes! Your perseverance and surpassing all your laughed at limitations make you a hero. At least for all of us non-pros, late adopters and non-main-cyclists (main sport anything else) appreciate you showing us, what can be done with a lot of willpower.
Keep on smashing expectations.

Oh snap, quirks and features? Cycling Doug DeMuro?

My favorite part about the dura ace brake calipers is that they also double as Bluetooth speaker. Pretty cool.

Anyone who buys this (if they don’t have to wait two years to get it) will spend 50% of their time whizzing past everyone then spend the other 50% explaining to everyone that it’s a downtube faring and not an ebike 😂😅

[beesplaining]

Excellent intro to a new exciting Orbea. Also, good to see the potential conflict of interest call out at the start of the video.

[chube]

Long live the horizontal top tube and classic geometry and damn you Orbea for producing such a beautiful bike. No doubt in my mind that the sloped top tube was some marriage counsellor's ruse to prevent us bike aesthetes from spending too much.

[jonnythelegs]

Wouldn't normally compliment another man on his lunchbox but very tidy sir, and excellent weight distribution too better than having your bag hanging out the back of the saddle.

[chrispyy]

This bike is really interesting. Would be great for roads bike category TT’s and flatter road races. I wonder if you can specify bar width and stem length when ordering.

[Carmai]

Me: " I want it!! "
Wallet: " Shut up, you already have too many bikes..."

[JayLato]

Haha Quirks and features. “THIS!, is the New Orbea Orca Aero”

[pokemon]

Absolutely love my previous gen Orca Aero but I do quite like the fairing/storage on this new one!

[mogglie]

Thanks for keeping the top tube horizontal.

[wong]

GCN Tech: You gain more efficiency with a stiffer frame

also GCN Tech: You don't lose any efficiency thru frame flex

[stevemawer]

Ollie, flat top tube refers to the profile, I think you meant "horizontal" when differentiating it from sloping. :-) You should also give us an idea of the price as it was specced.

[dubplateriddim]

I love Doug DeMuro's bike reviews

[jfconant]

Dear GCN, During your bike tests, would you be reasonably able & willing to add a HUD of speed and grade?, to demonstrate these bikes? Maybe watts/kg as well.
